03/26/2025 The Descent Deepens: New Monster Companions – Book 5: The Fifth Is Now Live!

Dear readers, adventurers, and fellow dungeon-crawlers...

It’s official. New Monster Companions – Book 5: The Fifth is now available on Amazon, and as always, free to read through Kindle Unlimited!

With this book, we dive into the most intense phase of Hendric’s journey yet... Levels Nineteen to Twenty-Two... and everything has changed.

The Dungeon of Lost Souls is no longer just a maze of traps and monsters. It’s evolving. Watching. Learning. It has become something far more dangerous… a living force that knows Hendric, fears what he’s becoming, and will do whatever it takes to break him... and the companions he’s come to love.

Every Step is a Struggle

These levels are filled with shadow, fire, illusions, and enemies that attack not just the body... but the mind. The battles are harder, bloodier, and far more personal. The threats are no longer random; they’re strategic. And every fight now carries lasting consequences.

But Hendric is evolving, too.

His Draconic blood stirs with new power. His connection to his companions... Sahira, Tyria, Azmira, Mirava... is stronger than ever. And in this chapter, he meets someone who could change the course of his fate:

Xelaria, the Phantom Queen

Powerful. Mysterious. Tragic. And tied to a history the dungeon itself would rather stay buried.

Her arrival marks a turning point. Not just for Hendric, but for the entire saga.

The Path to Level Twenty-Three

Something is waiting ahead. A new companion. A new threat. A new challenge unlike any before. And if Hendric doesn’t reach her in time… she may never survive.

The journey is far from over, and Book 4 raises the stakes in every way. More action. More revelations. More heartbreak. More fire.


Continue the Adventure?

New Monster Companions – Book 5: The Fifth is available now:


Whether you've been with Hendric since the first chapter, or you're just joining the journey, I want to thank you for diving into this world with me. Your support, excitement, and energy mean everything... and I can’t wait for you to see what comes next.

Strap in, sharpen your blades, and trust your companions.

Because the real fight is only beginning.

03/25/2025 The Descent Continues: Book 5 Is Complete!

To all my amazing readers,

I’m incredibly excited (and a little exhausted!) to let you know that I’ve just finished writing New Monster Companions – Book 5: The Fifth.

This book has been an intense, emotional, and action-packed journey, pushing Hendric and his companions to the brink. The Dungeon of Lost Souls is no longer just a battleground... it’s becoming something more dangerous, more intelligent, and more personal.

We’re entering the true heart of the dungeon now. Levels Nineteen through Twenty-two bring a new kind of horror, with creatures that don’t just test strength, but heart, memory, and loyalty. And for Hendric, the weight of leadership grows heavier with each step he takes.

But he’s not walking alone.

His companions are growing too. The bond between them is stronger than ever... and in Book 5, that connection will be tested, reforged, and transformed in unexpected ways. From fiery battles to moments of deep vulnerability, this book marks a turning point in their journey.

And yes…
There are twists.
A few that might just take your breath away.

Right now, I’m doing a final pass... tightening, polishing, and making sure it shines. If all goes as planned, Book 5 will be live within the next day or two, ready for you to devour.

As always, thank you... from the bottom of my heart... for your support, encouragement, and passion for this world and these characters. Whether you’ve been here since the very first book or just joined the series recently, you are part of this journey. And we’re only getting started.

Be ready.
The descent continues.
And the dungeon has more to reveal.

With fire and gratitude,

03/08/2025 New Monster Companions – Book 3: The Third. is Here!

I know... I write fast. But when the story keeps flowing, I just can’t stop. And now, I’m thrilled to say that Book 3 of the second series is finally here!

Hendric has fought, bled, and survived through the first ten brutal levels of the Dungeon of Lost Souls, but this dungeon is far from finished with him.

The Dungeon Has Changed.

It’s no longer just reacting... it’s adapting, twisting its halls into something more sinister, something designed to break him.

The enemies ahead aren’t just stronger. They are forces of chaos, each one threatening to unravel reality itself:

The Faceless Choir... Whispers madness into the minds of those who linger too long, stealing their very sense of self.
Wildstorm Leviathans... Living tempests, unpredictable and deadly, striking with pure elemental fury.
Voidborn Devourers... Entities that consume light, life, and sanity, leaving nothing but emptiness in their wake.
Abyssal Tyrants... Ancient rulers of the abyss, monstrous and relentless, each one a walking cataclysm.

Levels Eleven to Fourteen Will Push Hendric to the Brink.

The dungeon isn’t just a place anymore... it’s an enemy. It’s watching. It’s learning. And the deeper he goes, the less reality itself seems to hold together.

But Hendric is not the same warrior who first entered this dungeon.

His Draconis blood stirs.
His power is growing.

His destiny is taking shape.

Yet strength alone won’t be enough.

By his side, Sahira, Tyria, and Azmira fight with unyielding determination, their bonds forged in battle, tested by fire. Together, they have defied the dungeon before.

But now?

It’s fighting back. Harder than ever.

And as they approach Mid-Fourteen, Hendric realizes a terrifying truth

The dungeon isn’t just trying to kill him anymore.

It’s trying to claim him.


Are You Ready to Follow Him Deeper Into the Abyss?

New Monster Companions – Book 3: The Third is here!

The saga continues, the stakes are higher, and the dungeon is deadlier than ever.

03/01/2025 Book 2 Is Out! Are You Ready to Continue Hendric’s Journey?

The wait is over! New Monster Companions – Book 2: The Second is finally here, and it’s time to descend deeper into the Dungeon of Lost Souls alongside Hendric, Sahira, and their growing team of powerful companions. If you thought the first five levels were intense, you haven’t seen anything yet.

This second installment in the second series of Hendric’s saga takes us through Levels Six to Ten, where the dungeon grows more ruthless, the monsters evolve, and time itself bends to its own twisted will. The dungeon is no longer just an obstacle... it is an intelligent force, watching, adapting, and pulling out all the stops to break Hendric before he can reach the surface again.

But Hendric is stronger than ever.

He’s faced deadly foes before, but nothing like what awaits him now. The dungeon is no longer just throwing monsters at him... it’s changing the very rules of reality. Chrono-Liches distort time itself, warping reality around Hendric and his companions, forcing them to fight battles that stretch across hours, yet last mere moments. Void Maw Behemoths rise from the abyss, their very presence a manifestation of the darkness that lurks deep within the dungeon’s heart. And at the end of it all stands a foe that should not even exist... an Oblivion Monarch, a remnant of dungeons long lost to history, reborn to stand in Hendric’s way.

But Hendric does not stand alone.

Sahira, the fiery Djinn warrior, grows ever stronger, her magic now entwined with Hendric’s in ways neither of them fully understand. Tyria, the former Construct turned flesh and blood, embraces her newfound mortality, discovering powers she never knew she could wield... Void Magic, drawn from the darkness itself. And with each battle, their bond strengthens, their teamwork becoming the key to survival.

As Hendric pushes forward, he knows the stakes have never been higher. Victory means returning to the surface, reuniting with his family, and proving once and for all that he is the greatest dungeon diver to ever exist. But failure? That means losing everything... not just his life, but the lives of those who fight beside him.

Will Hendric overcome the horrors of Levels Six to Ten? Will he reach the surface before Bren and claim victory in their challenge? Or will the dungeon finally succeed in breaking the Duskborn Dragon?

The journey continues now.

Are you ready to dive back in?

02/26/2025 The Journey Continues – Progress on New Monster Companions – Book 2

Writing a book is a journey... one filled with excitement, struggle, and countless surprises. And this particular adventure? It’s shaping up to be one of the most intense yet.

I’ve officially reached Chapter 10 in the second book of New Monster Companions, pushing the word count up to 32,600 words... and the story is far from over. There are still three dungeon levels left to complete before this book reaches its climactic end, and let me tell you, these levels are brutal.

Hendric has faced countless trials before, but this dungeon is proving to be unlike anything he has ever encountered. The monsters are growing stronger, the battles more relentless, and the stakes higher than ever. Every new chamber he and his companions enter feels like stepping into the unknown, with enemies that shouldn’t even exist this deep into the dungeon... yet here they are, waiting in the darkness.

But beyond the battles and danger, this book is also diving deeper into the connections between Hendric and his companions. These bonds—whether forged in combat, trust, or something even more profound... are shaping not just their survival, but their destinies.

I won’t spoil too much, but let’s just say… this dungeon isn’t just testing their strength. It’s testing their very souls.

I can’t wait to share this book with all of you when it’s complete. Every twist, every challenge, and every revelation is leading toward something huge... and I hope you’ll be there to witness it all when the time comes.

Until then, keep an eye out for more updates, and as always—the dungeon awaits.

Are You Ready to Dive In?

Let me know in the comments... what are you most excited to see in the next installment? More brutal fights? Deeper lore? Hendric and his growing family of companions facing the impossible? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

02/22/2025 A New Descent Begins – New Monster Companions: Book 1

Dungeons have always been a test of strength, skill, and survival. Hendric has conquered many, pushing his limits, growing stronger with every level he’s claimed. But now, he faces something entirely different—something older, deadlier, and far beyond anything he has encountered before.

This is not just another dungeon.

This is the Dungeon of Lost Souls.

A place where the rules of dungeons no longer apply. A place where the dead linger, monsters evolve, and the very dungeon itself seems to watch, waiting for those foolish enough to challenge its depths. The threats here are not just physical but existential... and every step forward comes at a cost.

The Mystery of the Dungeon

From the moment Hendric steps inside, it’s clear something is different. The creatures that roam these halls should not exist at this level. The Netherfang Wolves, massive and unnaturally strong, hunt with a pack intelligence unseen in other dungeons. The Abyssal Leeches, creatures of pure nightmare, do not simply attack... they infest, they multiply, and they consume anything in their path.

And then there are the things born of the void itself, horrors pulled from the abyss, creatures that warp reality with their presence. The dungeon isn’t just throwing monsters at him.

It is testing him.

It is watching.

But Hendric isn’t alone.

A Companion Unlike Any Other

In the depths of Level Two, Hendric meets Sahira, a Djinn warrior, a being of fire, wind, and ancient power. But unlike the companions he’s known before, Sahira is different. Her magic doesn’t just grow stronger with experience... it grows stronger when she is with him.

Something is happening between them, something neither of them fully understand. Every fight, every battle, every shared moment fuels her abilities, forging a connection between them that is far more than survival... far more than companionship.

Sahira is not just another ally... she is a force of nature, one that may change the very nature of the dungeon itself.

But the deeper they go, the more questions arise.

Why are the monsters here so much stronger than they should be?

Why does Sahira’s magic resonate with Hendric’s presence?

And most importantly… what lurks beyond Level Five?

Survival is Only the Beginning

From towering beasts to horrors pulled from the abyss, every battle brings Hendric closer to the dungeon’s dark secrets. The Abyssal Horror lurking within Level Five is unlike anything he has ever fought... a creature that should not exist, a monster that should not be alive. And yet, it is here, waiting for him, threatening to swallow them both whole.

In the final confrontation, Hendric must embrace his Draconis blood, unleash his true power, and shatter the Horror’s abyssal core... not just to survive, but to ensure that the dungeon itself doesn’t consume them.

But the Dungeon of Lost Souls is far from finished with him.

A Journey Beyond Strength

At its heart, New Monster Companions – Book 1: The First is not just about dungeon diving and battle... it is a story of growth, connection, and the unknown forces that shape us.

Hendric is more than just a diver now.

Sahira is more than just a companion.

And the dungeon is more than just a test.

The first five levels were only the beginning.

As they prepare to descend deeper, the question remains:

Will Hendric and Sahira survive what’s waiting below?

Or will the dungeon finally claim them as its own?

The Monster Companions saga continues. Are you ready to descend deeper?

02/20/2025 The Journey So Far – New Monster Companions, Book 1: The first

17 chapters. 58,000 words. And Hendric’s battle has only just begun.

When I first started writing New Monster Companions - Book 1: The First, I knew I wanted to create something that would challenge my characters in ways they hadn’t faced before. A dungeon dive filled with danger, mystery, and the unexpected bonds between diver and companion.

But as I continued writing, the dungeon itself took on a life of its own.

This isn’t just another dive. It’s different. Older. More dangerous. And for the first time, Hendric isn’t just fighting to survive... he’s fighting to understand.

The first five levels alone have been brutal. More than just the usual labyrinth of darkness and monsters, this dungeon is twisted in ways that make no sense.

Creatures far stronger than they should be appearing too soon.

Magic in the air that feels wrong, ancient, and far beyond what a normal dungeon should hold.

The whispers of the fallen, the ones who never made it out.

And then there’s the most chilling fact of all...

No one has ever made it past Level Thirty-Four.

Hendric doesn’t just have to survive.
He has to unravel the mystery of this place.

What waits beyond Level Five?
What kind of monsters will he meet... and which ones will become his companions?
Will he be the first to go beyond Level Thirty-Four… and live to tell the tale?

I can’t wait to share the rest of this epic, emotional, and pulse-pounding adventure with you. This story is far from over.

New Monster Companions - Book 1: The First is still in progress, and trust me... what’s coming next will change everything.

Stay tuned. The deepest levels are still waiting.

02/15/2025 Have You Begun the Journey Yet?

The My Monster Companions series now spans 11 action-packed books, each one pushing Hendric further, testing his limits, and throwing him into battles unlike any before.

Over 150 different monsters.
Countless near-death encounters.
And 13 incredible women who stand by his side.

But even after everything… this is not the end.

The fight continues. The adventure grows. And soon, a new saga will begin.

 "New Monster Companions" is coming soon. 

If you haven’t started yet... now is the time.

02/13/2025 Book 10 is Here – The Next-to-Last Chapter in My Monster Companions

I tried to contain my excitement, but let’s be honest... I can’t. Book 10 of My Monster Companions is officially out!

This series has been an incredible journey, and with this next-to-last installment, Hendric and his companions find themselves deeper than ever in the Dungeon of Despair, where the stakes are at an all-time high. The dungeon is no longer just a labyrinth... it’s alive, adapting, and learning from them. Every step forward brings a new challenge, every battle is more brutal than the last, and the choices Hendric must make could change everything.

What makes The Tenth so pivotal is that, for the first time, Hendric has control over his own fate. The dungeon offers him an unprecedented choice... who will be his next companion? Will he choose a stranger, or will he bring back a soul already tied to him? The weight of this decision hangs over every moment, adding an entirely new dimension to the adventure.

This book is one of the most intense, action-packed, and emotionally charged entries in the series. It’s also the book that sets the stage for the final battle ahead in Book 11... the last book in the series.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support, excitement, and dedication of my readers. Seeing so many of you connect with Hendric and his companions, share your favorite moments, and speculate on what’s to come has made this journey even more rewarding.

Now, it’s time to experience the next chapter. Book 10 is available now on Kindle and free with Kindle Unlimited.

02/09/2025 Book 9 is OUT NOW!

Adventurers, dungeon divers, and fans of epic fantasy... the wait is over!

I’m thrilled to announce the release of My Monster Companions – Book 9: The Ninth! Hendric and his fearless companions return, diving even deeper into the heart of the Dungeon of Despair, where the darkness grows thicker, the monsters deadlier, and the stakes higher than ever before. This isn’t just another chapter in their story... it’s the beginning of a descent into challenges that will push them to their absolute limits.

What Makes Book 9 Different?

In the earlier books, we explored dungeons filled with traps, terrifying creatures, and impossible odds. But in Book 9, the dungeon reveals a truth that changes everything:
Every level isn’t just a floor... it’s an entirely new world. 

Each step forward brings Hendric and his companions into environments unlike anything they’ve faced before. Think vast, otherworldly landscapes teeming with monstrous beings that defy imagination. Picture ancient, cursed ruins where reality twists, and shadowy threats lurk around every corner. The dungeon isn’t just trying to kill them anymore... it’s trying to break them.

What Can You Expect in The Ninth?

Brutal Battles:
Prepare for some of the most intense, heart-pounding combat the series has ever seen. Hendric and his companions face creatures that challenge not just their strength but their very sanity. From the reality-warping Void Herald to the terrifying Oblivion Serpent, each fight will leave you breathless, gripping the pages as if your own life depended on it.

Emotional Highs and Lows:
This isn’t just about swinging swords and casting spells. Hendric’s bond with his companions is tested like never before. Friendships deepen, loyalties are questioned, and sacrifices are made. The emotional weight of the dungeon is heavier, the fear of loss more real, and the moments of connection between characters more meaningful.

New Worlds, New Dangers:
Gone are the simple dungeon corridors. Now, every level is a world of its own, with unique environments, deadly ecosystems, and creatures beyond comprehension. Imagine stepping from a shadowy maze straight into a vast, desolate wasteland… or from fiery caverns into an abyss where the very air feels cursed.

Massive Rewards... At a Cost:
The deeper they go, the greater the treasures—but every victory comes with a price. The dungeon doesn’t give without taking something in return, and Hendric will have to face what those costs truly mean.

02/08/2025 A New Twist in the Journey – My Monster Companions Book 9 is Coming!

Fellow adventurers, dungeon divers, and fans of Hendric’s relentless saga... it’s official:
My Monster Companions – Book 9: The Ninth has been submitted for publishing, and I couldn’t be more excited (or more devious) about what’s in store for you.

This book marks a significant shift in the series. From the very beginning, I had mapped out Hendric’s story with a clear structure, aiming for a ten-book journey through the harrowing depths of the Dungeon of Despair. But, as any adventurer knows, no journey ever goes exactly as planned. Sometimes, new paths reveal themselves... hidden doors you didn’t expect, twists you never saw coming.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Book 9 covers only four levels: Levels Forty-One through Forty-Four.
Why? Because these levels demanded more. The challenges Hendric and his companions face here are unlike anything they’ve encountered before... darker, more brutal, and emotionally intense. Every battle carries more weight, every decision cuts deeper, and the dungeon itself seems to pulse with a malevolent will, determined to break them. Condensing these levels or rushing through them would’ve done a disservice to the story. They needed space to breathe, to evolve, and to hit with full force.

But that’s not the biggest twist.

The series isn’t ending with Book Ten. There will be an ELEVENTH BOOK.
Yes, I said it. Eleven books. The adventure has grown beyond its original scope, and Hendric’s journey isn’t finished. The story demanded more, the characters had more to give, and the dungeon... oh, the dungeon has so much more in store.

I know some of you might groan, thinking, “We were so close to the end!” But trust me... this extension isn’t filler. It’s the natural evolution of a story that’s grown richer and deeper with every level. The final arc is going to be more intense, more emotional, and more epic than I ever anticipated when I started writing this series.

And yes, there are more surprises waiting.
No, I’m not telling you what they are.
You’ll have to read the books to find out. 😈

I want to thank every single one of you who’s been part of this journey. Your support, your messages, your reviews... they’ve kept me inspired through every chapter. Whether you’ve been here since Book One or you’re just now discovering the series, know that this adventure wouldn’t exist without you.

So, get ready.
Hendric’s story isn’t over.
In fact… it’s only just beginning.

02/06/2025 Book 9 Update: Chapter 15 Begins—And It’s Getting EPIC

Hey everyone!

I’m thrilled to share that Chapter 15 of Book 9 in the Hendric and His Monster Companions series is officially in the works!
With 40,800 words written and two more levels to go before the book is complete, this installment is already shaping up to be longer and more intense than the previous books.

While I can’t spill any spoilers (as much as I’d love to!), I can say this...
The story is getting darker.
The stakes are higher.
The battles are more brutal.
The emotional weight is heavier.

But amidst all that darkness, there’s something incredible...
Hope.

Hope for the future.
Hope for survival.
Hope for the lives waiting beyond the dungeon walls.

Hendric and his companions aren’t just fighting monsters anymore; they’re fighting for something deeper, something that transcends the dungeon itself. The bonds they’ve built, the sacrifices they’ve made, and the future they’re dreaming of...it’s all leading to something epic.

With how the story is unfolding, Book 9 might surpass the length of the previous books. The battles are more detailed, the emotional moments hit harder, and the characters are evolving in ways that even surprise me as I write.

But here’s the best part—
It’s not just epic for the sake of being epic.
It’s personal.
It’s raw.
It’s the kind of story that sticks with you long after you’ve turned the last page.


If you haven’t started the series yet, now is the perfect time to dive in.
With 8 books already out, you can binge the entire adventure and get caught up before Book 9 drops.

And the best part?
They’re all FREE on Kindle Unlimited!

So what are you waiting for?
Join Hendric and his monster companions on an adventure filled with danger, friendship, love, and battles that will leave you breathless.

02/03/2025 The Story Builds & The Stakes Rise

Writing a series like My Monster Companions is always an adventure in itself. Every book presents new challenges, new dangers, and new depths to explore... both for the characters and for myself as a writer.

Now, with Chapter 7 completed in Book 9, the manuscript has reached 20,400 words, and I can already feel this book taking a life of its own. The pace is quickening, the tension is rising, and the story is shaping into something fierce, something gripping.

Of course, I can’t tell you what’s happening, nor who it’s happening to, but one thing I can say? Hendric and his companions are facing some of their toughest battles yet.

The dungeon is ruthless. Every step forward is a struggle, every chamber hides a new danger, and the deeper they go, the harder the fight becomes. Nothing is given easily, and every victory comes at a cost.

And that’s what makes this journey so incredible to write.

I love exploring the growth of the characters, their bonds, their determination to survive, and how the choices they make shape their future... if they make it that far.

For those of you who have been following this series from the beginning, you already know that things never go as planned. The dungeon is always watching, always testing, and with Book 9, it’s proving to be more relentless than ever.

If you’re new to the series, now’s the perfect time to start. With eight books already out, there’s a lot to catch up on before the final battles begin.

Stay tuned for more updates, because things are only going to get more intense from here.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and being a part of this adventure with me. The best is yet to come.

11/16/2024 A New Chapter for My Story: From Perfectly Imperfect to Shadows of Uharan

Titles and covers play a critical role in shaping the identity of a book. They’re more than just a name and a design; they’re a reflection of the journey within its pages. When I first started writing this story, Perfectly Imperfect felt like the right title. It spoke to some of the themes I was exploring, but as the narrative evolved, it became clear that the title didn’t quite capture the heart of the story.

After a lot of thought (and some brainstorming sessions), I’ve decided to change the title. I’m thrilled to introduce you to Shadows of Uharan, the new name for my book. This title resonates deeply with the themes that have emerged... betrayal, redemption, resilience, and the haunting truths buried in the past. It reflects the journey of my characters, especially Kell, as he confronts the legacy of Uharan and the shadows that linger from its tragic past.

Along with the new title comes a fresh cover design. While it might not be as bold or flashy as some of my previous covers, it perfectly encapsulates the essence of the story. The image of Kell’s ship drifting through space and the shadowy presence of the androids evokes the mystery and weight of the tale.

Making this change wasn’t an easy decision. Perfectly Imperfect had a charm of its own, but Shadows of Uharan truly represents the story I’ve crafted and the emotional depths it explores.

I’m incredibly excited about this new direction and can’t wait to share the story with you. Let me know what you think about the new title and cover... I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Stay tuned for more updates as the story continues to unfold!

11/15/2024 Chapter 19 Complete – And It’s Time for a New Title!

As of today, I’ve officially wrapped up chapter 19 of my work-in-progress sci-fi novel, bringing the total word count to an exciting 56,100 words!  This story has evolved far beyond what I originally envisioned. The twists, the depth of the characters, and the complexity of the plot have exceeded my initial expectations... and I love it.

But with that evolution comes a realization: the current title, Perfectly Imperfect, no longer feels like the right fit. The story’s tone has shifted, and the themes have expanded in ways I didn’t foresee. As a result, I’m exploring new title ideas that will better capture the essence of this sprawling tale of survival, betrayal, and redemption among the stars.

This change will also bring a fresh cover design to match the updated title and tone. It’s both exciting and a little daunting to re-imagine such a key part of the book, but I’m ready for the challenge.

What’s next? Brainstorming titles!

Thanks for following along on this adventure! Stay tuned for more updates and, hopefully, a shiny new title reveal soon. 

11/13/2024 New Book Idea:
My Monster Companions

Every now and then, an idea comes along that’s a bit… wild. And here I am, diving into it once more, quite literally! I’m thrilled to introduce my latest concept: "My Monster Companions - Book 1" – a Dungeon LitRPG adventure.

This story follows Hendric, a young, ambitious dungeon diver setting out on his first perilous journey into a sprawling dungeon. Dungeon diving is a dangerous path, but for those who make it far enough, the rewards are incredible, wealth, status, maybe even a shot at eternal fame. Hendric's story promises action, thrills, and plenty of monsters, all wrapped in a dark, moody world filled with mystery and challenges.

If you’re a fan of high-stakes adventure, LitRPG elements, and a dash of fantasy danger, this one’s for you! Follow along as I develop this journey into the depths of the dungeon and let’s see where Hendric’s story takes us.

Stay tuned for updates and teasers, I can’t wait to bring you into this new world!

11/11/2024 Perfectly Imperfect Reaches Chapter 17 and 51,300 Words!

11/09/2024 Introducing My New Series Idea: Neon-City - The Game

After the success of The Monster Girls of Neon-City, I’m excited to share my next big idea! This time, I’m creating a PG-rated series so that readers of all ages can join the adventure. The story will take place two years into the future, in an evolved version of Neon-City, now a hugely popular game. But unlike the previous series, this one dives into the action from the players' perspectives rather than the creators'.

Our main character, Tom, is one of sixteen players chosen for an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in this immersive game. We’ll follow him through ten intense levels, each one bringing new challenges, discoveries, and surprises. Each book in this series will represent a different level, starting with Book One, and together, they’ll chart the thrilling journey to the top!

Right now, this is just an idea in development, but I’m excited to bring it to life! Whether you're a fan of the original or new to the world of Neon-City, I hope you’ll join Tom and me on this epic adventure. Keep an eye out for updates, sneak peeks, and the first book’s progress!

11/07/2024 Chapter 16 and Counting: Perfectly Imperfect Progress Update

Hello everyone!

Today, I hit an exciting milestone in Perfectly Imperfect... 47,000 words and just starting Chapter 16! It’s been a thrilling journey so far, and the latest chapters have taken on a deeper, richer tone as I explore more of each character’s history. Each of them is far from perfect, and that’s exactly what’s making this story so powerful to write. From complicated pasts to unexpected secrets, these moments are really bringing them to life on the page.

Working on these latest sections has made me think about how our pasts shape who we are, especially in ways we don’t expect. My protagonist, in particular, is discovering that his own history isn’t as cut-and-dry as he once thought, and the revelations he uncovers could change everything. It’s made for some incredible twists that I’m excited to share with you!

Thank you for joining me on this journey and for all the messages of encouragement along the way. Stay tuned for more updates as we inch closer to that final word count and the day I get to bring Perfectly Imperfect into the world. Until then, happy reading and, as always, thank you for your support!

10/18/2024 Chapter 13 Complete – The Cursed Sword - Book 2

Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just completed Chapter 13 of The Cursed Sword - Book 2! With this chapter, the total word count has reached an exciting milestone of 76,500 words, and let me tell you—the journey is only getting more intense from here.

This chapter was a real turning point for the characters, especially for Michael, who is finding himself pushed to the limits of both his strength and his resolve. There’s a lot of emotion, tension, and new challenges that I can’t wait to reveal. From dark magic and hidden enemies to moments of unexpected alliances, the story is unfolding in ways even I didn’t fully anticipate when I first started writing it.

Without giving too much away, Chapter 13 brings with it deeper conflict—both internal and external—for our hero. Michael’s loyalty to his companions and his quest is being tested, and the stakes are higher than ever. The world of The Cursed Sword is vast, and each new twist adds a layer of complexity that drives the story forward. Every decision, every battle, and every relationship is shaping the destiny of not just Michael, but the entire realm.

As many of you know, The Cursed Sword series has always been about more than just epic battles and magical creatures (though there’s plenty of that!). At its heart, it’s a story about loyalty, sacrifice, and the lengths we go to for those we love. In this chapter, you’ll see Michael struggle with those themes in new, intense ways—ways that will forever change him and those around him.

One of the things I’ve been really excited about in this book is the expansion of the world itself. We’re delving deeper into the lore and history of Elandor, and there are secrets about the ancient magic and the mysterious forces at play that are just beginning to be uncovered. Michael’s journey to defeat Lothara is more than just a physical challenge—it’s a battle of wills, one that will take him to the darkest corners of both the world and his own heart.

As always, I’m incredibly grateful for the support of everyone following along with this adventure. Your enthusiasm and encouragement keep me motivated to push these characters to their limits and continue crafting a story that I hope captivates you as much as it does me. There’s so much more in store—more twists, more danger, more magic—and I’m excited for each of you to continue this journey with me.

Thank you for being part of this world and for sticking with The Cursed Sword. The adventure is far from over, and trust me, things are only going to get more epic from here!

Stay tuned for the next update as I continue to dive deeper into Michael’s story and the ever-expanding world of The Cursed Sword. Adventure awaits, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you!

As I dive deeper into this book, the characters are growing in ways I hadn’t fully anticipated, and the stakes continue to rise. One of the things I love about this process is how the story seems to take on a life of its own. In Chapter 10, alliances are tested, and new revelations come to light that will shake the very foundation of what our heroes thought they knew.

Without giving too much away, this chapter really pushes the main characters further than they’ve ever been before—both emotionally and physically.

9/30/2024 Exciting News About The Cursed Sword

Sometimes, the writing journey takes unexpected turns, and today I’m excited to share one of those moments with you. As I was finishing up Chapter 19 of The Cursed Sword, I found myself reflecting on how much this story has grown. What I initially thought would be a single, self-contained book has now evolved into something much bigger than I originally imagined.

The current draft of The Cursed Sword now stands at 95,000 words, and the story is far from over. The plot has developed in ways that are both thrilling and complex, with new layers revealing themselves as I write. Rather than rush to tie everything up, I’ve decided to make a bold choice: The Cursed Sword will no longer be a standalone book. This is just the beginning.

So, after much thought, I’ve decided to split the story into at least two books—possibly even three! The journey of these characters, and the depth of the world they inhabit, deserves more space to unfold. By doing this, I can fully explore the rich dynamics and darker elements that have surfaced in the plot, and take you, the reader, on a much more epic adventure.

As for what’s next? I’m planning to stop here for the moment and focus on preparing this first book for publication. Later tonight, I’ll officially release The Cursed Sword, Book 1... the start of what will be an even larger saga. I couldn’t be more excited about this shift in direction and can’t wait to share this thrilling world with you.

Stay tuned for more updates about the release, and as always, thank you for being part of this journey with me!

9/28/2024 Chapter 18 of The Cursed Sword Complete!

Big milestone reached today! Chapter 18 of *The Cursed Sword* is officially done, pushing the total word count to 89,900. This chapter really took things to a whole new level, there were moments I didn’t see coming, but they’ve made the story even richer and more layered. As I wrote, I could feel the characters evolving, their relationships deepening, and the tension growing in ways that surprised even me.
It’s been a journey full of twists and turns, and this chapter felt like a real turning point. Every scene felt like it carried more weight, with higher stakes and more complexity than ever before. There were moments of danger, unexpected alliances, and some truly emotional beats that I think will resonate long after the chapter ends.
The world of *The Cursed Sword* is expanding in ways I hadn’t anticipated, and I’m excited about the direction it’s heading. I’m already deep into outlining the next chapter, and if things keep going like this, there’s no telling where the story will take us next.
Stay tuned for what’s coming next!

9/28/2024 Chapter 16 of The Cursed Sword Complete!

It’s always exciting to hit a new milestone in a story, and *The Cursed Sword* has just reached 79,000 words! Chapter 16 was a whirlwind of emotions, action, and unexpected twists. Michael’s journey continues to take some fascinating turns, from moments of danger and fighting off enemies to deep emotional connections.
This chapter dives into the balance between light and darkness that surrounds Michael’s quest. He’s constantly faced with tough choices, whether in battle or love, and Chapter 16 really brings that to the forefront. There are intense battles... yes, goblins make an appearance, but what stands out even more is the growing complexity of his relationships. Michael’s personal life is evolving, as he finds himself drawn closer to another woman, adding a new dynamic to the story. The themes of love, loyalty, and the challenges of leadership are all woven tightly into this chapter, making it a key moment in the narrative.
As the world of *The Cursed Sword* expands, so does Michael’s journey, physically, emotionally, and even romantically. With more surprises surely on the horizon, I can’t wait to see where his path leads next.

9/25/2024 Chapter 12 of The Cursed Sword Complete!

Just finished writing Chapter 12 of The Cursed Sword, and the story is now sitting at 62,400 words! It feels like a big milestone, and I’m really excited about where things are headed. For those who don’t know, this book has been a major project for me, and it’s shaping up to be a blend of action, adventure, and a bit of fantasy romance. I’ve been working hard to build a world that’s rich in detail, with characters that feel real and engaging.

While I can’t give away too much, I will say that the story is really starting to ramp up. The next chapters are going to dive even deeper into the action, with bigger battles, new challenges, and more dangerous enemies. I’ve been focusing a lot on building tension and pushing the characters into situations that test their limits, physically and emotionally. It’s been a lot of fun to write, and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together.

Writing The Cursed Sword has been an incredible journey so far. I’ve spent hours exploring the world of Elandor, fleshing out its history, magic, and politics. There’s so much more to uncover, and as I continue writing, the story just keeps growing. It’s becoming a tale not only about adventure and combat but about personal growth, sacrifice, and the choices that shape who we are.

What’s been particularly interesting for me is balancing the action with the quieter, more reflective moments. I want the readers to feel connected to the characters, to understand their motivations and struggles. So, while there’s plenty of sword fights and danger, there’s also space for those moments of introspection and connection. I’m really looking forward to fleshing out those dynamics in the next few chapters.

As the book progresses, I’m also seeing a lot of room for deeper world-building. The setting of Elandor is a vast, mystical place, and there are still many secrets to reveal. I love the idea that the characters, just like the readers, are learning more about the world as they move through it. Every new location brings with it new dangers, new allies, and new mysteries, which makes writing each chapter an adventure in itself.

Overall, I’m really pleased with how things are going. Writing can be a solitary process, but there’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing the word count grow and the story take shape. With each new chapter, I feel like I’m uncovering something new about the characters and the world they inhabit.

Thanks for following along on this writing journey! I’m hoping to keep the momentum going and push further into the story. Writing a book is always a marathon, not a sprint, but it’s incredibly rewarding to see it all come together. If you’re curious about the process or just want to chat about writing in general, feel free to reach out. More updates to come as The Cursed Sword continues to unfold!


9/24/2024 Chapter 10 of The Cursed Sword Complete!

I'm thrilled to share a major milestone in my journey with The Cursed Sword! I've just finished Chapter 10, and the story has reached a hefty 51,000 words. What's exciting, and a bit surprising... is that even after all this writing, I feel like I’m not halfway through the book yet. It’s shaping up to be a longer, more intricate adventure than I initially anticipated.

This story has really taken on a life of its own, with characters evolving and plotlines deepening in ways I hadn’t originally planned. The world of The Cursed Sword continues to expand, and each chapter brings new layers of mystery, danger, and excitement. As I delve deeper into the narrative, the stakes are rising, and the challenges faced by the characters are becoming more intense and complex.

What’s driving this project forward is the sheer fun of telling the story. Every twist and turn keeps me eager to continue, and I’m having a blast exploring the darker themes and fantastical elements that are taking center stage. There are dragons, trolls, and a few surprises I can't wait for you to discover.

The road ahead is still long, and there’s much more to tell. But one thing’s for sure—this is going to be one of my most epic and immersive stories yet. I’m excited to share more updates as I move further along this journey.

Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes glimpses into The Cursed Sword as it unfolds!


9/21/2024 The Cursed Sword. Update.

I’m excited to share that I’ve just finished Chapter 5 in The Cursed Sword, bringing the total word count to 24,830! The story has officially taken a darker, more intense turn, and I can feel it opening up new possibilities with each passing chapter.

In this latest chapter, I’ve introduced two new elements to the world—dragons and trolls. The appearance of these creatures has shifted the tone of the narrative, plunging our characters into more perilous and unexpected situations. The trolls, brutal and relentless, are forcing the protagonists to make difficult choices, and the looming presence of dragons has added an extra layer of complexity to the world-building. They aren’t just beasts, but ancient beings with their own mysterious agendas, which will soon unravel as the story progresses.

What comes next? Well, that’s the exciting part! The darker turn has opened the door for more complex character development and deeper conflict. The magic system is expanding, and with these mythical creatures now in play, alliances and rivalries will grow more intense. I’m playing with the idea of a hidden lore tied to the sword itself, and the connection between the dragons and the cursed blade might just be the key to unlocking the bigger picture.

As always, I’m thrilled to continue crafting this world and seeing where the characters take me next. There’s still so much to explore, and the stakes are only going to get higher from here.

Stay tuned for more updates, and let me know what mythical creature you’d like to see next!

Thanks for reading, B. B. Hartwich

9/19/2024 New Book Idea: Perfectly Imperfect

Hello everyone,
I’m excited to share a new concept that has been swirling in my mind for a while now, my latest book idea, Perfectly Imperfect. It’s a story that journeys through the stars, explores themes of loss and discovery, and celebrates beauty in the broken.

The story follows a man, a star-traveler, who finds himself stranded on an unusual planet, a world that is essentially the galaxy's trash heap. This planet, still unnamed (I’m open to suggestions!), is where old inventions, broken technology, and forgotten items from every corner of the universe are discarded. Picture a desolate wasteland filled with the remnants of countless civilizations, from ancient gadgets to the latest failed tech experiments.

As he navigates this trash planet, our protagonist stumbles upon something unexpected... a discarded android. Her body is broken, her face half-finished, and yet she embodies something extraordinary. Despite her physical imperfections, there is an undeniable allure and beauty to her, a sense of purpose and life within her mechanical frame. She is, quite literally, Perfectly Imperfect.

This concept is still in the early stages, but I see this story exploring deep emotional connections, the idea of finding beauty and worth in what others consider broken or incomplete, and the journey of two lost souls (one human, one android) navigating a universe that has discarded them both. Together, they will face challenges that push them to rediscover their value—not just to the galaxy, but to each other.

I hope you’re as excited as I am to dive into this world. Keep an eye out for more updates as this idea grows into something special!

9/18/2024 The Cursed Sword.

I've just started my next adventure, The Cursed Sword! This book will be a bit longer than my previous ones and takes a different direction, no harem this time. We follow Michael, a 22-year-old software engineer whose heart is shattered after a painful breakup. Lost and disoriented, he finds himself thrust into a strange, mystical realm that resembles Middle-Earth. As he battles ancient foes, he must uncover the truth behind a cursed sword that binds him to this world, fighting not just for survival, but to break the curse that threatens the future of all.

9/18/2024 The Monster Girls of Neon-City Book 10 – The Final Chapter of The Monster Girls of Neon-City is Here!

After a thrilling journey spanning ten books, I am beyond excited to announce the release of The Monster Girls of Neon-City – Level 10 – Centaur Plains! This marks the conclusion of a saga that has been a true labor of love, filled with unforgettable characters, dangerous adventures, and the electrifying world of Neon-City. For those of you who have been following Ashton Luke Jones from the very beginning, this final chapter will bring his story full circle in ways you may not expect.

The Monster Girls of Neon-City started as a vision—a sprawling digital metropolis teeming with danger, mystery, and fantastical beings. Throughout the series, Ashton has faced countless challenges, built meaningful relationships with a cast of diverse and powerful women, and uncovered the deeper mysteries lurking beneath the surface of this neon-lit world. With the release of Level 10 – Centaur Plains, Ashton must confront not only the external threats in Neon-City but also the shadows of his past, making decisions that could alter the future of everyone who has come to rely on him.

Writing this final book has been bittersweet. There were moments of triumph, laughter, and discovery, along with the inevitable sadness of closing the chapter on a story that has been part of my life for so long. As much as it’s the end of Ashton’s journey, it also feels like the end of an era for me as a writer. I’ve poured my heart and soul into creating Neon-City, and I hope that every reader has found a part of themselves in these stories—whether it’s through the characters’ resilience, their search for belonging, or the idea that even in the darkest times, there is light to be found.

But just because this chapter has ended doesn’t mean the adventure is over. There are new stories and new worlds on the horizon! I can’t wait to share what’s next, and maybe—just maybe—there will be more from Neon-City in the future. After all, a city as rich and alive as this never truly fades away.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or have just recently discovered The Monster Girls of Neon-City, your enthusiasm and passion for the series mean everything. I couldn’t have made it this far without you, and I hope you enjoy this final book as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

Stay tuned for new adventures and worlds to explore. Until then, enjoy The Monster Girls of Neon-City – Level 10 and let’s keep the magic of storytelling alive together.

With heartfelt appreciation,
B. B. Hartwich

9/7/2024 New story, a Fan Fiction of StarGate.

The fist chapters now available in Fan Fiction above in the Menu.


Stargate: Legacy of the Stars

Set in the year 2189, Stargate: Legacy of the Stars follows the resurgence of Earth's Stargate Command after decades of peace. A once-symbolic relic of humanity’s exploration, the Stargate is now thrust into action as a new, unprecedented threat emerges—the Kha'zir Empire. This ancient alien race, born from organic technology, consumes entire worlds through assimilation, transforming their victims into grotesque hybrid soldiers.

In response, Earth’s Unified Stargate Command forms Task Force Orion, a team of elite soldiers trained for battle across space and distant worlds. Led by Captain Eva Daniels, the team is humanity's last hope to stop the Kha'zir from reaching Earth. Armed with advanced technology and driven by the legacy of the legendary SG-1 team, Daniels and her crew embark on a mission to investigate the full extent of the Kha'zir’s power.

Their first mission leads them to PX-794, a planet overtaken by the Kha'zir, where the team uncovers devastating evidence of hybrid armies and worlds consumed by alien bio-conversion. Along the way, they discover that the Kha'zir are searching for the Ancients’ Forgotten Arsenal, a cache of technology powerful enough to tip the balance of the war. Task Force Orion’s journey becomes a race against time to locate and secure the Arsenal before the Kha'zir do, all while navigating hostile environments, engaging in intense battles, and forging fragile alliances.

At the heart of their fight is the looming question of whether Earth can survive the relentless onslaught of the Kha'zir, whose collective consciousness and bio-tech make them more formidable than any previous enemy. As the team dives deeper into the galaxy’s most dangerous territories, they must confront their own fears, the weight of the past, and the potential for humanity's extinction if they fail.

9/5/2024 Reviews Matters.

Supporting writers is more than just buying a book, it’s about recognizing the dedication, hard work, and passion that goes into creating something from nothing. Writing isn’t an easy journey; it’s filled with long hours of drafting, editing, and rewriting, all while battling self-doubt and uncertainty. For many authors, writing is not just a hobby, it’s a calling. It’s a way to share stories, emotions, and worlds with readers, hoping to inspire, entertain, or even provide an escape.

But let’s be honest: the process can be grueling. After months, sometimes years, of pouring their heart and soul into a manuscript, authors face the daunting task of publishing, which often comes with its own challenges. From navigating the complexities of self-publishing to promoting their work in a crowded market, writers are often left feeling overwhelmed. Yet, they press on because they believe in their stories and the connection they can make with readers.

This is where you, the reader, come in. Your support can make all the difference. One of the most powerful ways to support a writer is by leaving a review. Reviews are essential for authors, especially indie writers, who rely on them to gain visibility in a competitive field. A single review can boost a book’s ranking, help it get noticed by new readers, and provide valuable feedback that authors use to improve their craft.

But it’s more than just numbers. Reviews are a form of validation. They tell the author that their story resonated with someone, that the sleepless nights and hard work were worth it. Every comment, every star rating, lets them know their words mattered. Even a few lines expressing what you liked or how the book made you feel can encourage an author to keep going, to continue creating.

So, if you love a book, take a moment to leave a review, on Amazon, Goodreads, or wherever you discovered it. It doesn’t have to be long or elaborate, just honest. Your voice as a reader helps shape the literary landscape and supports the storytellers who work tirelessly to bring new worlds and ideas to life.

Remember, behind every book is a writer who faced struggles, doubts, and challenges to bring their story to you. Your review is a gift back to them, a way of saying “Thank you. Your story mattered.”
